Note: Please reply by _mail_, and I'll summarize if enough interest is
shown. Followups to comp.sys.amiga won't be seen....

First, a fix for (one of?) the bugs regarding trying to use uupc to
talk to multiple systems:

The function dscandir, in dcpsys.c, does:

	sprintf(cname, XQTFILE, rmtname);

This searches for execute files from the last host we thought about
talking to, which is always the last host in the systems file. Any X.
files from other hosts are ignored, even if we specifically connected
to that host. The fix is to change XQTFILE to "X." (the prefix for
execute files on your system) and to change the sprintf to:

	strcpy(cname, XQTFILE);

Now, for the real questions. I'm still using 1.1, as I've latticified
it and cleaned it up somewhat for use as a serious network program (as
opposed to something you run when you feel like it on an IBM-PC).
However, the code is ugly (the above bug was caused by overloading
global variables), and there are _lots_ of things that still need to
be changed before I'll be happy with it.

That's why I'm still using 1.1. 1.18 has none of the changes I put in,
and the bug fixes aren't for things I've stumbled over (yet, of
course). I can't see fixing the Manxisms and log file code again (and
again and again).

I know people are running uupc under amicron. Are you happy as things
are - with debug message showing up everywhere, no timestamps in log
files, one empty log file & one log file with everything in it? Or
have you tried to clean some of that up?

Has anyone had any luck getting one of the other PA/PD UUCP
implementations working? GnuUCP?

Also, is anyone out there working on a user mail agent to replace the
"mail" that comes with uupc? Say porting elm (which now runs on
MSDOS), or writing micromh (mmh?), or some such (I already know that
Matt's ported dmail)?
